¹ The Kadamba line was founded by Mayūraśarman, a Brāhmaṇa, who rose against the Pallavas and helped by "Vrihad Bāṇa" and other kings, compelled the lord of Kāñchī to confer on him the Paṭṭabandha of military governorship. He soon pushed his conquests to the western ocean. His great-grandson Kākustha varman gave his daughters in marriage to the Gupta and other kings. Kṛishṇa varman I performed the Aśvamedha. Mṛigeśa varman defeated the Gaṅgas and Pallavas and had his capital at Vaijayantī. Junior branches of the family ruled at Palāśikā, Uchchaśṛiṅgī and Triparvata. The Kadambas were finally overthrown by the Chalukyas. See Moraes, *Kadamba-Kula*; Sircar, *JIH*, 1936, 301 ff.
